If you want to know how to ask a girl to be your girlfriend, just use these 10 steps. Using them will ensure that your proposal will be sweet and memorable, and she’ll always remember it in positive light.

And love is all about those special moments, isn’t it?

#1 Don’t rush it. You may be dating this girl for a while now, but unless both of you have been together for several dates or have spent a few weeks or months dating each other, don’t rush it and propose your feelings for her. Love isn’t a joke. As lightly as many of us may take love, love does take time to build in our hearts.

Take your time to see where the dating relationship is heading and if you’re certain that you love her, speak your mind.

Expressing your love to her is a cute thing to do, but it’s not a commitment that’s as serious as marriage. It’s only the first step. By going down on one knee or planning an elaborate proposal idea to tell her that you like her, you may end up scaring her away with your overindulgent behavior.

But at the same time, if this girl you’re dating is the kind of girl who likes dramatic behavior or extravagant settings, well, then go for that knee buckling pose!

#3 Always make it memorable. You don’t always need to splurge to make something seem memorable and special. If you’ve decided to express your love for a special girl, try your best to make it seem perfect and romantic in your own little ways. It’s the least you can do to show the one you love just how much she means to you.

#4 Take her out to a romantic dinner. Romantic dinners are always a perfect setting to ask a girl to be your girlfriend. If you’re wondering about the perfect place to express your love, then this is it. Start the date by taking the girl you like to a romantic dinner under the stars or in a cozy setting.

#5 Gift her something small and nice. Sometimes, the most inexpensive of gifts can be the most cherished and loved. You’re not in a relationship with her yet, so don’t gift her anything expensive. She may just end up feeling awkward or decline accepting something extravagant.

Pick up something nice and special that can create a memory and last for a long time, like a little glass or porcelain figurine, a jewelry trinket box, a harmonica, or something else that connects both of you in some manner. If you’d like, you could also gift a posse of her favorite flowers.

#6 Use a greeting card. If you want to ask a girl to be your girlfriend, but don’t want to feel awkward trying to bring that conversation up, then go the Hallmark way. Pick up a romantic greeting card that explains how you feel when you look at her, add a few of your own lines on the blank side of the card and give it to her when both of you are sitting together after dinner.

But sit next to her as she reads it, so she can watch you as she reads your thoughts on that greeting card.

#7 Write a love letter. There’s no special way to express your love than by using a love letter that expresses every single emotion you feel for this girl. It’s a beautiful way to let her know how much she means to you, and yet, it’s something that shows just how far you’d go to bring a smile on her face.

#8 Have a conversation. Whether you’ve written a love letter or given her a card, you still have to talk to her. You’ve warmed her up with written words, now it’s time to express the feelings in your heart to her. Tell her just how happy she makes you feel, and tell her how special you feel when she’s by your side. You can be romantic, sweet or anything else you want to be as long as you express your affection for her in a way that she’d like to hear. [Read: Easy ways to compliment a girl and make her blush]

#9 Don’t ask her anything. Just tell her what you feel. And wait for her reciprocation. Nudge her and coax her just a little bit to say what’s on her mind if she blushes, but is too shy to say anything romantic back to you. ‘What do you feel towards me?’ is a good question to ask a girl who’s feeling too shy to say anything.

But if she hesitates to say anything back to you, don’t push her to say something. Sometimes, she may just need some time to express herself clearly. You’ve said what you wanted to say. Her response will come when she’s ready with an answer.

#10 Say those three words. You’ve expressed your heart. But she knows those feelings already. If you want to ask a girl to be your girlfriend, sometimes you need to tell her exactly how you feel. Don’t leave her hanging and wondering what’s on your mind by not making your intentions clear.

Say those three magical words, be it I like you or I love you. Let her know exactly what you expect from her and what you expect from the relationship. You can’t really ask a girl to be your girlfriend without saying these three words. A proposal of love is just not complete until you say it. [Read: More tips on how to tell someone you love them]

And once you’ve walked through these 10 steps on how to ask a girl to be your girlfriend, you would definitely have asked her out the right way and created a memorable and romantic moment that’ll always be cherished and remembered fondly at the same time.

I have tried everything, and the one I love just disregarded my feelings, and has hurt me more than when I even in her life. The colors in the world are grey and nothing use to make me happy unless I saw her. But she doesn’t have the same feelings for me as I have for her.I just don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t think my heart can handle this horrible crushing feeling. My heart hasn’t stopped hurting.

@ david…at this point you have to get strong with her…do what you usually do and in the middle just say….you know what i am done with this game(looker her dead in the eyes and say) i like you(insert name here) and low key i have for a while… but i gotta know if you feel the same way…if she pause move in close and go in for if a kiss…if she flat out says no then just walk away

Ok i have talked to. A girl for two weeks and i wanna ask her out but we havent meant in person we have face timed all night for one night and i like her alot and if someone can help me with this situation kik me at garza4

I don’t know how I would feel if a guy asked me to be his girlfriend..and said I love you at the same time. I’m pretty sure all you need to say is, “We’ve dated for awhile and I enjoy your company. I hope you enjoy mine as well..do you want to be my girlfriend?”

A conversation is all that’s needed. It’s not some proposal..if you go all out, man you’re going to raise her expectations when you guys celebrate your anniversaries and birthdays.

The secret is….. You ask them. Confidently of course don’t say um, or maybe, or stutter. Speak clearly and maintain eye contact. Man up and do not text them or call them. Do it in person. The former is so juvenile.

Ok so I have a question I’m very shy and Ive been talking with this girl for two weeks now she is always texting me and she’s first a lot of the time she always sends little emoji things but now we have only been able to be alone twice cause we both have kids so we don’t get a lot of free time alone she’s hard to read and im not sure what I should do I like her and I’m pretty sure she likes me but I wanna know when it’s right to and how to make the approach on how to make it official on being bf/gf

I have known this girl for 3months now. we talk on phone; i most times do the calling. we see in person occasionally, chat & go our separate ways.
my problem is I don’t know what steps to take in asking her to be my girlfriend.
Should i write a letter or say it by word of mouth? i’m madly in love.

I have known this girl for a month, and I like her a lot in fact I love her and we have often spent some times together, and so I’m thinking of asking her out but I’m scared what if she rejects me and above all I don’t known when should I ask her out.

Hey man I’ve had those exact same thoughts. My hearts been broken multiple times. You are not alone in this. Don’t get me wrong it hurts more than any physical pain does and anyone who says it doesn’t is hiding the truth. What I’ve learned though is that with time, the pain fades and I start feeling like myself again and I know you will too. That’s why you gotta move on, not let it get to you, and know that there really are a lot of girls out there who may not break your heart. I believe in you man, I know you’ll get there eventually. Best of luck.
